Question

some plants have leaves that are poisonous to some animals. which kind of adaptation is this? (1 point)
○ reproduction
○ survival
○ respiration
○ defense

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Reproduction is about producing offspring, not related to leaf poison.
• Survival is a broad term, but the specific adaptation here is for defense against animals.
• Respiration is about gas exchange, irrelevant to leaf poison.
• Defense: Poisonous leaves help plants defend against being eaten by animals, so this is a defense adaptation.

Answer:

D. defense
